Gamorrean Guard comment made me think about big figures in this line. Will we finally be getting an accurate, transforming Destroyer Droid? That's a pretty major presence in the prequels, after all, and it's something fans have been demanding for 14 years now, but I suspect Hasbro will say it's too difficult to work the transformation into that figure.

The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.

Which makes no sense from a company whose biggest proprietary franchise is Transformers!

Takara does most of the engineering on good Transformers. You can see Hasbro's hand more on the TF:The Movie and beyond figures, simpler and lamer. But that was then, now they're sometimes not awful. Anyway, the issue is partly that ILM used impossibly thin designs for some of it so a 3.75" wouldn't be a safe enough toy if it executed it, but it should be entirely feasible in a 6" scale because the parts will be larger and the "spine" will be able to move more freely (that was the reason they couldn't do it on the 6" Mega Action version, its spine was cheap and thick so they transformed the head the opposite direction).

If the Sandtrooper wasn't in wave 1, that would have definitely been in my top 5 somewhere. I think X-Wing Luke might have made the top ten as well. But since those two are on the way, my want list looks like this:

Bossk - I don't want this line to die until they make a Bossk figure, no one else matters.
TIE Fighter Pilot
Biker Scout
Gamorrean Guard
Stormtrooper
AT-AT Driver
Barada
Kithaba
Ephant Mon
Amanaman - these last four would never happen, but I would buy them in a second if they were made.

I really can't think of much from the Prequels that I would buy. Maybe Commander Cody, a Shocktrooper or an Ep2 Clonetrooper if they looked amazing

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence… When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S.
